“I Regret Keeping Quiet About Peter Obi’s Victory” – El-Rufai Speaks in Leaked Video

“I Regret Keeping Quiet About Peter Obi’s Victory” – El-Rufai Speaks in Leaked Video

A new video of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has shocked many Nigerians. In the video, El-Rufai said that Peter Obi may have truly won the 2023 presidential election with a wide margin, but he decided to keep quiet because Obi is an Igbo man.

Speaking to some Muslim clerics, El-Rufai said:

“I kept quiet because he’s an Igbo man. But now, the North is suffering more than the Igbos. It was a mistake I regret.”

This statement has caused many people to talk on social media. Some say El-Rufai is finally telling the truth, while others say it shows how tribalism and religion affect politics in Nigeria.

Many people who supported Peter Obi now feel that what they believed all along may be true — that he won, but the system was against him. El-Rufai also admitted that keeping silent was wrong, and now the North is facing the result of that mistake.

As Nigeria moves closer to the next election in 2027, this video may change how people see the last election and those who stayed silent.
